J! Quickcap: 6/22/2021

Hopefully we can move forward from yesterday’s wreck… Oh, and tomorrow’s J! Quickcap may be delayed because I will have a very busy day tomorrow…

Today’s Contestants: Challengers: Sandy Olive (St. Louis) and Bridget Gallagher (Austin); Returning Champion: Michael Tran (1-day $12,879)

Coryat Score: $35,800

Daily Double Correct Answers: 2

Final Jeopardy Correct Answers: 1

Winner: Sandy ($21,000)

Michael departs with $14,879. Hopefully I’m wrong, but I can already smell that skunk from here.

“Seems this game is getting tougher and tougher since Trebek left.”

And less and less fun to watch due to the lack of long term champions. I, too, am thinking about not watching this show anymore. But we gotta keep moving forward.

WOF Retro Quickcap: 3/12/2015

While the Jeopardy! episode that aired on this day was famous… for all the wrong reasons… it was a completely different story for sister show Wheel…

Next season’s WOF Quickcaps will also undergo a dramatic overhaul. Contestants will now be introduced in order by their full name, occupation & location (John Boyd inspired me to do this), and the final scores will be styled like you see on Andy’s recaps. The BR categories will now also be included.

Today’s Contestants
–Melanie Barash, a runner of two school chess clubs and a soccer coach for one of her three sons married to Terry for 20 years from Sterling Heights, MI
–Adam Jones, a systems engineer married to Becca (he also kiteboards) from Charleston, SC
–Stephanie Hervey, lead in ward admin. at Tucson V.A. Medical who enjoys entering contests (the most she says she’s won is $1K) from Vail, AZ

Final Scores
Melanie: $28,600 cash & prizes WC/Others: DOUBLE $1K GOOSEEGG

GT: $30,600

Tonight’s Bankrupt Trash: $10,850

BR Category: PHRASE

$100K Bonus Round: This was WORTH WAITING FOR — Melanie ended the losing streak & had completed the first total clean sweep since 4/5/2011! I sure hope she was paid handsomely for that…

J! Retro Quickcap: 3/12/2015

And now for today’s dishonorable mention of the day, and this episode’s rather infamous & you’re about to find out why…

Also, this will serve as a preview for next season’s J! Quickcaps which will now include the contestants’ pre-FJ! scores, how many correct/incorrect responses, how many rebounds out of how many attempts, unplayed clues & $ left on the board, Coryat lost to incorrect responses & the Lach trash. Contestants will now be introduced by their occupation in addition to their location, and the state names will no longer be abbreviated.

Challengers
-Stephanie Hull, a graduate student of philosophy from Columbia, Missouri
-Brad King, an automotive engineer from Hartland, Michigan

Returning Champion: Kristin Sausville (1-day $24,801)

Pre-FJ! Scores: Kristen: $8,400(LOCK)/Stephanie: -$6,800/Brad: -$200

Correct/Incorrect: 41/16
Rebounds: 2/6

Unplayed Clues ($ left on board): 7 ($7,400)

SEASON-WORST CORYAT SCORE: a terrifying $4,800
Coryat Lost to Incorrect Responses: a whopping $26,200
Lach Trash: $15,600 (10 Triple Stumpers)

Daily Double Correct Answers: 1

Final Jeopardy Correct Answers: 0 (out of 1) (Correct: What is the Social Security Administration)

DOUBLE PRE-FJ GOOSEEGG: Brad & Stephanie (The latter’s was DESERVING… BIG TIME)

Winner: Kristin by default ($6,800 (2-day $31,601))

Yeah, you could hear the disappointment in Alex’s voice. On this day, Stephanie Hull would set the dubious record for lowest score of all-time w/ -$6,800, a record that still stands to this day. She also holds the distinction of being the show’s ALL-TIME WORST CONTESTANT due to this fact.

VB: “This was not one of our greatest days.”
